Study design and participant inclusion. a) Study design. This was a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, six-sequence, three-period, crossover study. b) Study disposition. Of 129 screened for enrolment in this study, 37 patients were randomised to one of six treatment sequences (each consisting of three treatment periods) in an allocation ratio of 1:1:1:1:1:1. For each sequence, a) six patients were planned to be randomised; b) as 37 patients were randomised, sequence 1 contained seven patients. 34 patients completed all three treatment periods. IND: indacaterol acetate; GLY: glycopyrronium bromide; MF: mometasone furoate. #: primary end-point mean forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) (L) (area under the curve from 0 to 24 h); ¶: two patients discontinued from the study during treatment period 1 due to subject/guardian decision; +: one patient experienced an asthma exacerbation and discontinued from the study on the first day of treatment period 3.

Effect of morning or evening dosing of inhaled indacaterol acetate (IND)/glycopyrronium bromide (GLY)/mometasone furoate (MF) on weighted mean forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) (area under the curve from 0 to 24 h (AUC0–24h)) versus placebo (pharmacodynamics (PD) analysis set). Comparison of morning or evening dosing of IND/GLY/MF on weighted mean FEV1 (mL) (AUC0–24h) with placebo in the PD analysis set. Parameters were analysed using a mixed model adjusting for period, treatment and sequence as fixed effect factors, and patient as a random effect. Data are presented as least squares means treatment difference (90% CI) compared with placebo. ref: reference.

Effect of indacaterol acetate (IND)/glycopyrronium bromide (GLY)/mometasone furoate (MF) on overall mean peak expiratory flow (L·min−1) (90% CI) over days 2–14 by treatment (pharmacodynamics analysis set). Parameters were calculated using a mixed-effects model including period, treatment (IND/GLY/MF morning, IND/GLY/MF evening, placebo), and sequence as fixed effects. Note: if a treatment period for an individual patient exceeded 14 days, the patient's peak expiratory flow (PEF) values contributed only up to day 14 for the respective period.
